Finalists Unveiled for CSP’s 13th Annual Best New Product Contest

Posted on August 2, 2016

OAKBROOK TERRACE, IL – Which products will be crowned as the best of 2016? That’s for convenience-store retailers to decide. Before visiting a polling place to elect the next President of the United States, elect CSP’s 2016 Best New Product Contest winner.

The new product committee—also known as the esteemed editors of CSP magazine—sifted through hundreds of worthy nominees, and selected three finalists each in 26 product categories. Now it’s up to c-store retailers to select the winners of CSP’s 13th annual Retailer Choice Best New Product Contest by filling out their official ticket at www.cspdailynews.com/2016bestnewproduct or by tweeting the company name and product with the hashtag #CSPnpc2016. Voting is open Aug. 2 through Sept. 9.

"The quality and innovation of new products launched every year makes it more and more difficult to name just three products per category as finalists," says Abbey Lewis, Editor in Chief of Winsight Media’s Convenience Store Products magazine. "It’s a testament to how well suppliers are meeting and exceeding the rapidly increasing expectations of the consumer. Your vote helps recognize the deserving suppliers and continues the great trend of quality products introduced to the industry."

The group of finalists represents products that have been introduced into the c-store market between Aug. 1, 2015, and July 31, 2016.

Winners will be announced and will receive an award plaque at the NACS Show® in October. They will also be mentioned in an article that will appear online at www.cspdailynews.com and in the December issue of CSP magazine.
